School and Community Partnerships/Community Conversations

School community partnerships have been identified as one major factor influencing school improvement.  As a result, NEA has assembled resources and examples of effective partnership efforts around the country.  Further, Kansas NEA is involved in a project with Public Agenda that has a proven track record for supporting school improvement.  Learn more from the links below.

• NEA links for Parental Involvement

• Northwest Regional Educational Lab has assembled resources and examples of partnerships

• One major partnership in Kansas that also has a national presence is the Learning First Alliance.  Resources at this site include support for parents and teachers particularly for reading, mathematics, and professional development.

Public Agenda's web site highlights the difference between public engagement and public relations.  KNEA is a source for training on providing "Community Conversations" programs as outlined by Public Agenda.
